Choir Chamber Opera for Children EJ NU EJ by Laura Jēkabsone

Choir Chamber Opera for Children EJ NU EJ by Laura Jēkabsone

EJ NU EJ is a story about a city boy who experiences a wide range of emotions — while riding a tram or visiting his grandmother’s seaside country home, thinking about his father’s sleep or an old fence gnawed by the tooth of time. Reflections and feelings that appear suddenly, a readiness for exciting adventures and unexpected twists weave throughout the colorful and vibrant concert performance, presented since 2022 by the State  Choir “Latvija.”
